Bookworms. I don't even like the word. Still, it applies to me - I have been one as far back as I can remember and I cannot imagine life otherwise. The truth is that very few things match the pleasure of a good book and the joys, the knowledge it gives you. Don't tell me you don't have time to read. Don't tell me book lovers hide in books and forget to live; comfortable with second-hand experiences. Book lovers live a thousand lives, they write a thousand books, they travel in time and space. Book lovers are scary. They know so much, they have seen the depths of human souls, they have seen the light and touched the darkness, they have an understanding of things other people will never have.

"A good book should leave you slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it."
William Styron

Back in business

And here we are again, after one year full of good intentions to do something more, but never quite up to it. Still, our reading project is very much alive and here we are showing you what these great kids have been doing. This year we decided to tackle poetry. Not easy, I know, but the kids loved it and there was some amazing work going on.
I'll be posting the poems each group was working on and, whenever possible, the ideas / activities that were developed.
Hope you enjoy it!
